Of course it does. You have the choice to embed a subset of a font that has the Japanese glyphs (for instance arialuni.ttf) or to use one of the so called CJK fonts introduced in PDF 1.2 (these are not embedded, but a font pack is downloaded automatically). Just read the tutorial: http://itextdocs.lowagie.com/tutorial/fonts or wait for the book on iText (available for preorder @ amazon.co.jp) and read chapters 8 and 9 with a Japanese example showing how to write text in vertical columns rendered from right to left http://itext.ugent.be/itext-in-action/chapter.php best regards, Bruno Using Tomcat but need to do more?
